During the Vietnam War, Captain Willard (Sheen) is dispatched deep into the Cambodian jungle with orders to hunt down and
"terminate with extreme prejudice" the insane Colonel Kurtz (Brando), who has established himself as the ruler of a local tribe.
This movie was only portraying the reality of a war no one wanted to claim. It is not just a guy`s movie, it tells a story of what life was like to our men who were sent into this conflict and what this war turned our men into while they were there. If we look at this story from an open view point, we can see the impact this war had on the human morals given to us from youth, and what happens when we are forced to step over the boundrys of those moral decisions.
This is definitly a guy`s movie all the way. It was too long and some of the scenes were just plain boring.
